The Wildcats senior guard held the Red Devils District 3-AAA leading scorer to only 18 points while scoring 20 in the 64-63 overtime victory.

Senior guard Rian Hall hit two free throws with 3 seconds left on the clock to give the Wildcats the win. Moore put up a shot with 1.1 seconds left after an Oak Ridge foul at halfcourt. Moore’s shot from about 35 feet along the courtside boundary was short.

“There’s not many times you can say you ‘held’ a guy to 18 points,” Oak Ridge coach Aaron Green said. “Jaylin did a good job. Stetson is a heck of a scorer.

“(Jaylin) not only did a great job offensively but defensively he made him work.

“I don’t think coach (Randy) Moore or I would say we played our best game, but it was a heck of a win,” coach Green said. “We made just enough plays to find a way to win.”

Oak Ridge (15-3, 7-1 in 3-AAA) began the game exploiting their size against the five-guard lineup of Halls (13-3, 5-2) by hitting Isaac Merian on the block. The junior racked up 17 points in the contest — six in the first quarter.

“We were trying to get it down there to him,” Green said. “We wanted to make sure we were attacking the rim and not settling for threes. We have the size advantage on this team.”

Oak Ridge pulled out to a nine-point lead with a nifty pass from Hall to Henderson right before halftime but the Red Devils came out of the break with a pair of 3-pointers.

Both teams clamped down on defense hard in the fourth quarter. Both teams had just one field goal for nearly a four minute span in the final eight minutes of regulation.

Tied at 57, Oak Ridge held for a shot to win the game in regulation but Henderson could not shake free for a clean shot at a 3-pointer after a screen.

Moore hit a falling away trey from the corner with 25 seconds left in overtime to take a 63-62 lead.

After Oak Ridge brought the ball up to the halfcourt line and set up a play during a timeout, Hall drove towards the basket and drew the foul.

After going 0-for-2 shooting at the line in the fourth, Hall made both to win.

“That’s what a senior point guard is supposed to do,” Green said. “That will give him confidence when we get in those situations later in the year.”

Hall finished with 10 points for the Wildcats. Kevin Steen chipped in eight.

Taylor Bunch led Halls with 20. Blake Burleigh had nine. Moore had just seven points in the first half.

The boys now stand alone in second place in the district and are just a game back of Powell for the 3-AAA title.
